咿
U+54BF "咿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents a vocal sound or exclamation, often used in written Chinese to depict the sound of laughing or chuckling, as in the compound "咿呀" to describe the babbling of an infant or the creaking of doors. It can also function as a phonetic component in other characters and appears in classical literature and modern usage to convey a sense of light, melodic noise or astonishment. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified set and is typically read as yī in Mandarin, with its strokes representing a mouth radical on the left and the phonetic element on the right.
